So I have my little Marlin 981t 22lr rifle. I have never had a rifle with a scope, much less mounted one, which is exactly what I intend to do to my marlin.
According to Marlin, my rifle accepts:
Scope Mounting Bases for Marlin bolt action rimfire rifles with drilled and tapped receivers. Designed for use with Weaver-style rings.
If I wanted to get a base for my scope at Academy or Wal Mart, what would it be called? Just a weaver-style base? Will any one fit my rifle? Are quick-detach usefull? How about see-thru? I like irons too.
In addition to this, I would need 1" weaver rings and a scope, obviously. Am I on track here?
Also, I am considering a cheap red-dot. Some of the red-dots say they use a "weaver-style mount." Does this just mean I use the same mount as I would with the scope, sans rings? Are these $50 red dots any good?
Thanks for the info
